Magnifier & Flashlight

Magnifier & Flashlight makes small print big — and now it reads that print out loud. Freeze a page, tap Read aloud, and the app finds the text and speaks it, one sentence at a time, with the sentence you are hearing highlighted in large type. Everything happens on your phone: no account, no sign-up, no internet needed.

🔊 Read it out loud
• Freeze the frame and tap Read aloud — the app reads the page to you
• Play, pause and stop with big buttons; adjust the reading speed
• The sentence being spoken is highlighted so you can follow along
• Tap any sentence to start reading from there
• Text recognition runs on the device. It works best on clear printed text; handwriting, curved packaging and low light may not come out right
• Reading aloud uses the speech voice already on your phone. If no voice is installed for your language, the app says so and takes you to the system speech settings

📄 Big, plain reading view
The recognised text is laid out again as large, high-contrast, wrapped text on a plain background. For many people that is easier than zooming into a photo. You can make the text bigger or smaller with a slider, and your high-contrast filter carries over.

📚 Reading list
Save a page you want to come back to — the photo and the text are kept together on your phone. Open it later and have it read again, with no camera needed. Delete anything you no longer want; the app asks first. A Read last button on the main screen re-reads the last page you froze in one tap.

🔍 Zoom from 1x to 10x
• Pinch the screen or drag the big slider — both work one-handed
• Uses the camera's own zoom first, then digital zoom for the last stretch
• Tap anywhere to focus on exactly that spot
• Set the zoom level the app should start at

🔦 Built-in flashlight
One tap turns the camera light on so you can read in a dim restaurant, a cupboard, under a desk or inside a car glovebox.

❄️ Freeze the frame
Hold the phone over the text, tap Freeze, and the picture stays still. Then pinch to zoom in further and drag around the frozen image — no more shaking hands or losing your place. Tap Live to go back to the camera.

🎨 High-contrast filters
• Normal
• Inverted (white text on black)
• Yellow on black
• Black on yellow
• High contrast grayscale
• Brightness boost
Made for tired eyes, low vision and faint or glossy print. Filters work on the live view, on frozen images and in the reading view.

📷 Save or share a snapshot
Save the frozen (and filtered) image to your gallery or send it straight to a message, email or notes app. Nothing is saved unless you tap Save.

♿ Made to be easy
Large buttons, a one-handed bottom bar, a big zoom readout, gentle vibration feedback and a resizable reading view. Works with TalkBack. Keep-screen-on setting so the display doesn't dim while you read. Available in more than 30 languages, and you can change the language inside the app.

🔒 Private and offline
The camera image is shown on your screen only. Text recognition and speech run on the device. The app has no account, no server and no internet requirement. The only Android permission it asks for is the camera, and only when you use it.

✨ Free, with one optional upgrade
Every feature above is free, supported by a small banner and an occasional full-screen ad. A one-time purchase removes ads forever; it is not a subscription.

Magnifier & Flashlight is a reading aid for everyday small print. It is not a medical device, it does not replace glasses or an eye examination, and it should not be relied on for medicine dosing or safety instructions — always check the original with a person who can read it.
